It seems that it depends on the country. Here in Switzerland, a train of a particular route always departs from the same platform, except if there are rail works, a breakdown or similar, in which case there is an announcement on the usual platform that the train exceptionally departs from another platform. (For example, in Bern, IC 1 to Geneva always departs from platform 5 and IR 15 to Lucerne always from platform 7.) Thus, i think it makes sense to include the platforms in the route relation here.
